Google Stadia is coming. Are you excited?

I don't about excited but I am certainly curious to see it first-hand and see what kind of potential it has.

Nope. I don't want to gaming to be run by a monopolistic company named Alphabet. I don't want games to suddlenly vanish because people stopped playing. I don't want to have to have an always online connection.

I play when there is no internet. I prefer single player and prefer physical for larger games when available and digital for smaller indie single player games.

I detest microtransactions, F2play (POE /Gems of war excluded) and would play a linear fps, open world fps/action/adventure, stealth game, tactical shooter, western RPG, JRPG or old school RPG over anything multiplayer or online only.

So no, I will keep my PS4, Switch and PC for current gen and maybe a ps5 next gen but Stadia(or whatever the hell it's called) will not get an ounce of love from me.

Stop the presses , hell is freezing over, I think we found something most lemmings, hermits, cows and sheep can all agree on and unite with (ok there is the 20% outlier) but most hate the thought of an always online streaming solution taking over gaming.

Don't forget the always online connection required. Say goodbye to gaming when your internet goes out.

Like it or not, it's the future. You can do pretty much everything already within your browser connected to the cloud, why should gaming be left? You can create docs, spreadsheets, draw graphics, architecture visualizations, train AI models, watch movies, coding the cloud via cloud IDEs. Gaming is a next logical step. I too prefer local gaming but if they can transform it to the cloud with the same quality of other mediums and at good price, sure!

It's an era of thin clients connected to the cloud. 5G will only bring it sooner.

I'd be more excited for a root canal.

Streaming sucks and I hope it fails.

You're assuming everyone cares that much about quality of movie streams, it's good enough to forgo buying the physical copy ever again.

No but I thikn it will leave a tremendous impact one way or another that's for sure.
